Clicking on this button will display a new video that describes some additional new features within Rock- Then, click a button to run your Playlist to create models, maps, diagrams while you have lunch. Available for Works 2021.(https://www.screencast.com/t/16pyJx9BJp). Basic (5 items), Standard (5 items) and Advanced (unlimited items). • The new ModOps | Volume | Time-Based Mass creates a report that lists the change in mass of a contaminant over time, based on a list of solids that represent geochemical models for discrete time intervals. The Playlist provides: • A new option titled “Polygon” has been added to the gridding options menus. This new tool can be used to crop grid models using a polygon based on: • Turn-key tools for colleagues or clients who need to use RockWorks capabilities without any downtime spent learning how to use it. ~ the control point extents (i.e. a convex hull), • A memory aid for projects that are infrequently re-visited. ~ a polygon table, • An audit trail to serve as a record of what was done and all of the associated menu settings. ~ a polygon defined within an RwDat file, or • Automa tion of data processing in which new data is being introduced on an ongoing basis (e.g. resampling and ~ a polygon defined within a RockPlot2D file. monitoring). • A new option titled “Launch Program” has been added to the Playlist | Add pull-down menu. • A template for processing different data sets/sites using a streamlined workflow. • The Borehole Operations | Maps | Borehole Map menu now includes an option for using the borehole symbols that are unique to each borehole (as defined within the Borehole Location tab for each borehole) or specifying a uniform symbol for all boreholes. Recent Playlist Improvements: • The new ModOps | Grid | Math | Grid Intersections program determines the locations where two grids intersect, • Launch an external program from within the Playlist to automate data transfer. such as where a water table intersects the surface topography. • Load dimensions from a sub-site within the project, and from a saved coordinate list. • The Layout menu offers more automatic stretch, cascade, tile, and horizontal or vertical stack of open documents • Easier navigation with multi-select cut/copy/paste. and windows. • The new program titled ModOps | Grid | 3 Grids -> Solid program will create a block model in which the voxel values between two surface model grids are defined by another grid (e.g. a grid representing ore grades). • The faults are now included in the Multi-Table import/export (hence in the Archive also), and faults can now be transferred when creating a new project. • The new Double Gridding option in the gridding Options | Faulted menu will create more accurate interpolations adjacent to 3D faults. • The new Perpendicular Model option in the 3D Log Designer | Fractures menu and Fractures | Solid Model program offers easier display of downhole seismic and radar surveys in which the fracture radius represents the distance to an object (e.g. pilings) and the aperture represents the height of the object. • RockWorks can now import 5 meter DEM’s. Be aware that they create huge (>1.5M node) grids so plotting will be slow. • The processing of 3D animations has been sped up by about 30%.. • Changed the memory display colors for 0-25% to white text on a red background. • Dates will now be saved in US format MM/DD/YEAR (i.e. 7/22/2020) for Ini, Play list and command script files. • Shape file import will now read the Shape file’s Projection and Coordinate Reference System (prg file). • Date Format and Date Separator in the Datasheet work with ‘Date’ Type columns and programs that use dates. 3 800.775.6745 • rockware.com 800.775.6745 • rockware.com 4 RockWorks 2021®–Environmental RockWorks 2021®–Environmental Mapping Tools • Borehole location maps with detailed data labels • Contaminant concentration maps with lines and color fills, custom color tables, date filters • Plan- and surface-based slices from 3D models • Stiff diagram maps • Time-graph maps for user-selected analytes • Potentiometric surface maps • Flow maps in 2D and 3D • Coordinate systems/conversions: lon/lat, UTM, State Plane, local, custom Borehole Database Tools • Cross sections: multi-panel projected and hole to hole, with borehole logs and/or interpolated panels • Correlations: model-based and “EZ” panels, snapping tools for hand-drawn correlations • Borehole logs in 2D and 3D • 3D fence diagrams • Surface modeling of stratigraphic layers and water levels • Plume modeling of analytical data, with display as voxel or isosurface diagrams, 2D plan and section slices • Solid modeling of lithologic materials, geophysical and geotechnical measurements • Volume reports of lithologic and stratigraphic models, contaminant extraction models • Bulk data imports from Excel, text, LAS, other databases
